This morning we started the day with practice, chanting and tracing the Source Ling Guang Da Ai calligraphy. The slightest of funny though came into my mind: where did they pull out a Da Ai calligraphy? As i scan my eyes across the backdrop, the Da Ai calligraphy was missing from its place. i suddenly felt my mind racing very fast, with thoughts of :
- Oh, my who did that?
- Will they put it back?
- Will they know how to put it back?
- It took me a long time to put it where it was…
- What where they thinking!?!
- They better not loose the magnets…
As for context: the backdrop is a big black curtain, and we magnet in precise position 10 calligraphy of Master Sha’s Ten Da’s that took a while to place into alignment that made it look straight and presentable.
I turned over to Firuzan who was sitting beside me stating: They took the back drop Da Ai calligraphy, how can they do that? I hope they kept the magnets… these where just mere words that came out of my mouth pretending to not be affected by the situation. I certainly can say my thoughts where a little over emotional at this point. So i left eh issue alone, pretending/thinking that they will put everything back to where it was.
At the end of the practice, they came to me to ask for help to put the Da Ai calligraphy back to it’s placement in the backdrop. my mind started racing again, so i ask the universal servant “Where are the magnets?” he explains to me that it was somewhere here on the floor that was out in a open area. we all looked and looked and looked, i then lay down of the floor to look for the magnets. pretending i was CSI Honolulu. we only have enough magnets for this situation. i was starting to feel desperate. Then i thought of as a Divine Channel the first thing to do was to own the situation. Earlier this day i had a form of negative thought about this situation of people pulling the calligraphy from the backdrop with out asking… Next steps: “Ask for forgiveness”. As we always give the teaching what ever happens to you today, you most likely did it to some else before. So i started doing a forgiveness practice the the event, the magnets and the people.
Instantly, Master Nina came out of no where knelt beside me and ask
Master Nina : “What happened? Why are you on the floor?”
Me: “I was looking for something”
Master Nina: “What are you looking for?”
Me: “Some magnets”
Master Nina: “I have them!”
Me: my mind then played the musical instrument “Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!”
The beautiful teaching worked immediately, as soon as i ask for forgiveness Heaven connected me with what i needed the most at that time.
Forgiveness practice truly works. I had an exchange of ideas with the wise Master Nina, that no matter who is right or wrong in any situation. It does not matter, as soon as you think you are right… you could have move out of the Ten Da’s of Master Sha teaching and gone the state of ego. Because at some point what ever happened did not benefit anyone, specially if something is lost, it be emotional, mental or physical.
